Reduction of energy consumption in 10 Athens schools
Our Climate Advocates are organising an innovative educational programme in 10 schools in Athens which aims to encourage students to reduce their school’s energy consumption by 10% in 10 weeks! Students will be in charge of monitoring their school’s energy performance, which will be measured with energy meters installed in the school and through the use of the interactive web platform www.thepoweroften.gr.

During the programme, students will have the opportunity to take part in a series of interactive workshops designed to develop their knowledge and equip them to take action to address issues of sustainable living, energy consumption and climate change. At the end of the 10 weeks, the school that achieves the best energy performance and proves to be the most active in the workshops and the other project activities will be 'crowned' Champion!

After the project has ended, the energy metres will remain in the schools.
